Progressives such as Rep. Rashida Tlaib have urged Michigan Democrats to cast their votes for "uncommitted" in the state's primary over Biden's approach to the Israel-Hamas war.
“We’ve lived in harmony as neighbors for decades, and there’s a lot of pain all across all of these communities because of what’s happening halfway around the world,” she said, adding that she expects to see “differences of opinion” reflected in the primary and stressing that she doesn’t want voters to “lose sight of the fact that any vote that’s not cast for Joe Biden supports a second Trump term.”
I understand the pain that people are feeling and I’ll continue to work to build bridges with folks and all of these communities, because they’re all important to me," she said.
Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., also aired concerns over voter turnout in the state’s primary when asked whether it was a mistake for Biden not to meet with representatives from the Arab American community during his recent visit to Michigan.
Dingell said that “ongoing conversations” between Biden’s team and the Arab American community must continue, especially because Michigan is considered a “purple state” in presidential elections.
Tlaib, D-Mich., has joined progressive activists in urging Democrats to vote against Biden in the state’s primary on Tuesday, citing disagreements over the administration’s role in the war between Israel and Hamas.
Gary Peters and Debbie Stabenow and Rep. Elissa Slotkin did not immediately respond to NBC News’ requests for comment.
